In a matter of hours my son will be two years old.  I am so proud of him.  He is an amazing, good-natured kid.  Everyday I think I could not possibly love him more, and then a new day dawns and proves me wrong.

As he gets older (or more significantly, as I get older) I will forget the details of who he is today.  I won’t remember the small things that make him, him right now.

• His favourite colour is orange

• His favourite dinosaur is the triceratops

• His favourite letter is W

• He loves to eat fruit, specifically blueberries

• He loves to play with cars, trucks, trains, and anything that moves

• He is naturally athletic and has an amazing arm

• In bed, he needs his 3 giraffes, 2 monkeys, and one baby piled around him

• His favourite saying is “Boom shaka, Boom!”

Every day is a new adventure and I welcome each one (even though they are not always fun).  I anticipate and look forward to seeing him grow and learn and carve out his own place in this world.

Happy Birthday, Bubs!
